I hate that less then a cup of coffee expression but I really wanted to illustrate how inexpensive it is to learn to play piano from home with the learn and master piano course. The DVD and CD set costs about one tenth what a years worth of Private lessons would run you and you’re entirely in charge of how quickly or slowly you choose to learn.
If you want to take a break and come back to your lessons at a later date that’s no problem. No fees for cancelled lessons and no worries that you will forget what you learned because you can always review it.
